Liveblog of Verizon’s special event: CDMA iPhone ahoy!

Verizon has announced a special press event in New York City on Tuesday, …

Verizon has invited the press to a special media event on Tuesday January 11 that has everyone thinking that the Verizon iPhone is finally going to make its debut. All evidence seems to point to the long-rumored device becoming a reality, including a concurrent rumor about Apple announcing it on that day, leaked photos and video, and inside "sources" saying that the Verizon iPhone is so imminent it actually hurts.

This is all despite previous attempts by Verizon to throw rumor-mongers off its trail; the CEO previously hinted that the device might not come to Verizon in January after all, but no one is buying it. Aside from the Beatles coming to iTunes, this has been one of the longest-running Apple rumors since the iPhone came into existence.

But, how hilarious would be if it doesn't happen? Is it really the "Can You Hear Me Now?" guy's surprise 40th birthday party? Either way, we're poised to find out, and we'll be bringing the updates to you live from the event in New York City. The event is on Tuesday, January 11th, 2011 at 11:00am EST (see it in your own timezone).
